• Always use “work helpers” such as push sticks and

push blocks when cutting small or narrow workpieces.

Work helpers

Push sticks, push blocks or auxiliary fence are types of

“work helpers”. Use them to make safe, sure cuts without

the need for the operator to contact the blade with any

part of the body.

Auxiliary fence (Fig. 25)

Make auxiliary fence from 9.5 mm and 19 mm plywood

pieces.

Ripping

CAUTION:

• When cutting long or large workpieces, always provide

adequate support behind the table. DO NOT allow a

long board to move or shift on the table. This will cause

the blade to bind and increase the possibility of

kickback and personal injury. The support should be at

the same height as the table. (Fig. 26)

1. Adjust the depth of cut a bit higher than the thickness

of the workpiece.

2. Position the rip fence to the desired width of rip and

secure it in place by tightening the knob.

3. Turn the tool on and gently feed the workpiece into the

blade along with the rip fence.

(1) When the width of rip is 150 mm or wider,

carefully use your right hand to feed the

workpiece. Use your left hand to hold the

workpiece in position against the rip fence.

(2) When the width of rip is 65 mm - 150 mm wide,

use the push stick to feed the workpiece.

(Fig. 27)

(3) When the width of rip is narrower than 65 mm,

the push stick cannot be used because the push

stick will strike the blade guard. Use the auxiliary

fence and push block. Attach the auxiliary fence

to the rip fence with two “C” clamps. (Fig. 28)

Feed the workpiece by hand until the end is

about 25 mm from the front edge of the table.

Continue to feed using the push block on the top

of the auxiliary fence until the cut is complete.

(Fig. 29)

Cross cutting

CAUTION:

• When making a crosscut, remove the rip fence from the

table.

• When cutting long or large workpieces, always provide

adequate support to the sides of the table. The support

should be at the same height as the table.

• Always keep hands away from path of blade.

Slide the rip fence into the rail on the table. Loosen the

knob on the fence and align to desired angle (0° to 60°).

Bring stock flush up against fence, secure it with the

clamp on the rip fence and feed gently forward into the

blade. (Fig. 30)

Carrying tool (Fig. 31)

Make sure that the tool is unplugged.

Carry the tool by holding the tool part shown in the figure.

CAUTION:

• Always secure all moving portions before carrying the

tool.

• Always make sure that the blade guard is installed in

place before carrying the tool.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or

maintenance.

• If the push block handle or push sticks is broken,

contact Makita service center to get the replacement.

NOTICE:

• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the

like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.

Cleaning

Clean out sawdust and chips from time to time. Carefully

clean the blade guard and moving parts inside the table

saw.

WARNING:

The figures quoted are emission levels and are not

necessarily safe working levels. Whilst there is a

correlation between the emission and exposure levels,

this cannot be used reliably to determine whether or not

further precautions are required. Factors that influence

the actual level of exposure of the workforce include the

characteristics of the work room and the other sources of

noise etc.i.e. the number of machines and other adjacent

processes. Also the permissible exposure level can vary

from country to country. This information, however, will

enable the user of the machine to make a better

evaluation of the hazard and risk.
